Aaah, the profit of doom is straight in to tot up the selections that didn't quite win!

Water Nymph's BSP was 6.05, Ken. https://www.attheraces.com/racecard/Listowel/21-Sep-2023/1450

Anything under a ton isn't going to impact on BSP, erm. In the real world one would generally beat the SP in any event. Using API access to take the price just before the off would achieve that for any serious punter but that would be beyond the scope of our competition as it would prove difficult to verify whereas BSP is readily accessible. However, if you want to replicate the real world perhaps we could start with your own selections to date. There is no traditional bookmaking firm that would accept €1,000 at any published price unless you have a heavily losing account. In the real world you'd be told you can have €10 at the price and the rest at SP at best.

Correct Rodent Paddy Power would reject a Long one on anything in fact I crossed their thresh Hold to have a Real World Ton on Berty for President @12/1 .My thinking being he is going to get the FF nomonation and if there is a Sf /FF Government he could be the Governments Nomonation and we might even have a Coronation and not an election Like the Good old days when the Park was a reward or a Get the Fuck out of the way Promotion .Any hoo I stuck to my principles of only betting for value not sentiment of distant past or the lull of the Gallic Brogue being missused .I am happy with my 100% success rate and Profit for the Week So its up to yourself and Ken to top my total of 1005 .My success should not discourage both you lads to try harder in your personal head to head joust for the High Pissing Trophy .

Minor corrections to the above:

The second line in the Ayr placepot (Pride Of America) is the 13:50 not 13:15.
The fifth line in the Listowel placepot (Atimetodream) is the 15:55 not 15:20.

... and all stakes should read mythical€...

Apologies, I was under pressure to catch the first selection at Ayr!

Significantly.

My pot stood at €429.30 before the Dundee United game,
€180 loss in hedging bets brought it down to €249.30,
and with Dundee United winning adds another €1260,
to bring my current pot up to €1509.30.

@ John m, youre gonna have to play hard on Sunday to beat me ??

No worries, if'n you were not willing to engage in the spirit of the challenge then you should not have bothered entering.

Your figures were spot on.

9 x €29 single Losers + 2 x placepot losers and 1 Jackpot loser,
= €271 Loss.

2 Winners were;
Mars Harper @5.39 = €124.76 profit.
Not So Sleepy @9.92 = €254.51 profit.

€271 Loss + €124.76 profit + €254.51 profit,
= Total daily profit of €108.27.

RC's pot was €329.96 + €108.27 currently stands at €428.23.

Ok Ken I will play give you your victory .I will have 502.50 Ew on Echoes Of Rain @ 17.2 with SKy bet 
Echoes In Rain (30)
C T Keane212-83
9   17/2   15/2   11   9   15/2   9   9   17/2   17/2   17/2   15/2   9   9   17/2   15/2   9   9   9   8   9   9   9   17/2      60

7 places a 1/5 of the odds .


Why because it will rain making it a staying race She has grade one hurdle form over further should stay on into a place with a free shot at the win .Represents VALUE especially with 7 places .

[John m]

And me for real bet wil be a 10 ew on this thing @33/1 ..Naisiun

J: R. P. Cleary
T: J. S. Bolger, Ireland

looks like a carthorse ran 3 times only had about 6 horses finish behind it ,BUT Jim Bolger does not waste entry fees .Stable pilot on this one in stead of the shorter priced one ?

I thought you were not playing !

May I edit my earlier premiership bet ?

(Today I'll have 4 x €100 Trebles and a €4 Quad on the premiership football with Quinnbet;
Liverpool @2/5,
Chelsea @10/11,
Arsenal @4/6,
Newcastle @10/21.)

The overall premiership stake will be the same €404 but in different multiples with the same selections.

I'm taking it that is an actual real bet that you are doing today and not part of the challenge, as you have no funds on here to process that bet ?
